Where do I start ?

[Vape99]

I have been vaping for a couple years now and what was a little hobby of mine, turned out to be a passion. Vaping has probably saved my life, from smoking 2 packs a day. Today, I have all sorts of mods, rda's and tanks. Which brings me here, to start on my own and use my own creativity. I was wondering where to start with e-liquid and what brands to look into and what to pass up. Would it be ridiculous for me to seek out a book in DIY eliquid, and start there ?

http://vapingunderground.com/threads/what-do-i-need-to-begin-diy-simple-guide-with-links.2303/ This is an excellent thread to help you get started! Early on I discovered Headinclouds recipes, and from that point my DIY experience was terrific! If you search the recipe forum you'll find many free HIC recipes - and many others - that you can start with.

Not at this point in time! Most of us buy 100mg/ml (note this is not pure nicotine) and break it down as needed. Some people start with a lower %, such as 60mg/ml until they get used to mixing.

So, get nicotine, VG and PG bases, mixing tools and then flavors ?

That's it! And it helps to just buy flavoring for the recipes you want to make (small amounts until you know you like them).

this would have saved me from wasting $ on other equipment, when I started.

And it's so much easier and faster to mix, let alone NO clean up.
